The farewell note :
For the International Migrant Day.
Carolina is a Peruvian woman who has been living in Bristol, United Kingdom, for more than 20 years. She is going to share with us the transformation her life has undergone over all this time, as this short piece can hardly encompass 20 years of living abroad.

1) Tell us about your origin or background/ancestry.
Origin: I come from the divine Source of Love. I was born in a city located in the Peruvian Amazon, beside the Ucayali River, one of the tributaries of the Amazon River. They call it the “red land” because of its red clay soil. I descend from a great lineage of Amazonian Indigenous peoples and mestizos. I would love to say, “I have this or that ancestor,” but for some reason those records are not available. And there is evidence that whenever I venture into the Andes I get soroche (altitude sickness), which makes me suspect I may not have Andean blood—though that may not be accurate. Ambiguous, yes, but I’m in no hurry to take a genetic ancestry test. I belong here, to this beautiful planet, in this present time.

2) Which identity remains within you, or has it changed since living in the UK?

What remains in me is that seeking, curious little girl, connected to herself wherever she goes. Territories may change, and of course culture and time influence us, but above all, one learns to see life from different perspectives everywhere—especially depending on the people you encounter along the way. Here, for example, I have met many very open-minded people who accept, question, and choose to live their lives more freely, without worrying too much about others’ opinions, while at the same time respecting and honoring themselves. I love the diplomacy with which you can end a conversation by agreeing to disagree, especially when I talk with people who hold very conservative views. At the end of the day, we are all souls living a human experience (Rumi – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin).

3) How has Peruvian cuisine influenced the international cooking you do now?

My great love for cooking has awakened my creative and artistic side here, because I can dedicate more time to it. This has led me to rediscover and recreate family recipes. I love picking up the phone and calling my parents to ask about traditional dishes. The availability of ingredients challenges you immensely to be creative and innovative in the kitchen. It’s also fascinating to see how much multicultural and intercontinental influence is rooted in Peruvian cuisine. I notice this every time I prepare a new traditional dish from a European, Asian, African, Caribbean cuisine, and so on—the nuances are there, the influences are there, in the cooking techniques. But the love that many recipes carry is always what brings me the greatest joy, especially when a friend shows me how to prepare a typical family recipe from their traditional cuisine, along with those kitchen secrets passed down from grandmothers to mothers, mothers to daughters, and daughters to heart-sister friends.

4) How has Peruvian dance influenced the way you dance ,African dance, for example?

How wonderful it would be if everyone danced every day. Rediscovering African dances was fantastic, because I grew up listening to and watching those rhythms being danced by our Afro-Peruvian ancestors. I would say that Peruvian dance is a continuation of African dance that refused to disappear from the times of slavery to the present day. Dance is that rhythmic language of movement that not even the most challenging circumstances have been able to extinguish. That’s why, when learning and dancing African rhythms, a huge smile appears on my face. My heart can recognize the rhythms that come from the collective Afro-Peruvian memory—that heritage and rhythmic connection with the place where it originated: Mother Africa.

5) Tell us about the “Medicine song.”
Medicine songs have always been present on my path and have helped me reconnect with and heal myself. I love that the more I explore them, the more I find them in all cultures and languages. A few weeks ago, I had my first public performance at an open mic during a multicultural event at a local church. I sang a ca****la, and it was a very beautiful experience to be able to share the medicine. Medicine music comes from the soul to the soul. In these times, it is no longer reserved for just a few; now we are called to share it with love with anyone who wishes to listen, seek inner peace, and reconnect with themselves—always with great respect, and above all, shared from the heart. How wonderful it is to recognize yourself through medicine music.
Thanks you Carolina for your time and we wish you all the best in your life in United Kingdom

A Scottish Birdwatcher in Peru.

My name is Paul Rudd I come from the Scottish Highlands, where I spend much of my time outdoors watching and photographing birds. Birdwatching has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I enjoy the patience it requires, the calm it brings, and the quiet excitement of spotting something rare or unusual.

Many years ago, I visited Peru during my travels. I was not there specifically to watch birds, but I quickly became fascinated by the wildlife. Peru has an incredible variety of habitats, including the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon rainforest, all within one country. The diversity of species and landscapes is unlike anything I had experienced before.

The difference between Scotland and Peru struck me immediately. In the Highlands, the landscape is open and quiet, and I might spend hours watching a single golden eagle. In Peru, the forests, mountains, and rivers are alive with movement and sound. I remember walking through the cloud forests of Manu National Park at dawn and seeing macaws, toucans, and hummingbirds, each more colorful and vibrant than anything I had seen at home. Watching an Andean condor glide across the Sacred Valley was unforgettable.

I first became interested in birdwatching as a boy in Scotland. I spent hours wandering the woods with binoculars, fascinated by how birds moved, called, and interacted with their surroundings. Over time, photography became a natural extension of that interest, allowing me to capture moments I could remember and share.

For anyone visiting Peru who enjoys birdwatching, I would suggest taking the time to explore a few key areas. Manu National Park is incredible for rainforest species and is one of the richest bird areas in the world. The Sacred Valley and the area around Machu Picchu are excellent for highland species, including the Andean cock-of-the-rock. The Tambopata Reserve in the Amazon Basin is perfect for seeing large flocks of parrots and macaws at clay licks early in the morning. Even near Lima, the coast offers fascinating species.

The most important advice I can give is to be patient and observant. Birdwatching is not about rushing or seeing everything at once. It is about noticing small details and being fully present in the moment. My trip to Peru reminded me that the world is full of life everywhere, whether in the Highlands or the Amazon, and the joy of watching birds comes from paying attention to the world around you.

Thanks Paul for your advice for future bird watching.All the best for you 🦅📸.

Stone Bothering: Finding Meaning Among Ancient Stones

We are Rob and Kellen, a couple who found meaning in an unusual pursuit. Somewhere along our travels we discovered that spending time with ancient stones was not only fascinating, it was deeply moving. What began as curiosity grew into something we now call Stone Bothering.

What is Stone Bothering?

Stone Bothering is an old phrase once heard in parts of the UK. It describes the simple act of wandering among stones and giving them your attention. At first the words sound playful, but hidden within them is a quiet truth. Stones draw us in. We lean against them, place our hands upon them, walk their edges, and sit in their silent company. In these small moments of contact something within us begins to shift.

To bother a stone is not to disturb it. It is to engage with it, to allow its silence, its age, and its weight in the land to rest upon you. The phrase lingers because it captures a forgotten form of reverence. For centuries people have done this at circles, cairns, churchyards, and lonely outcrops on the hills, often without naming the act at all.

How We Began

Our journey started in England, in the Avebury area. Unlike Stonehenge, where access is limited, Avebury allows you to walk freely among the great standing stones. You can sit with them, rest your hand upon them, and feel the landscape breathe through them. That was where we first understood what Stone Bothering could be. It was not just visiting a historic site. It was stepping into a dialogue with the past.

From Avebury we began seeking out other stone sites in Britain. We visited dolmens in Wales, circles in Scotland, quiet churchyards, and solitary stones on windswept hills. Each place had its own presence and character. After visiting many of these sites we decided to create stonebothering.com so that we could share our experiences and stories of ancient places around the world. Our curiosity soon carried us beyond Britain, first to Europe and eventually across the Atlantic to South America.

Stone Bothering in Peru

Among all the countries we have visited, Peru stands apart. It is a land where stone and spirit are still inseparable. We walked through Ollantaytambo and explored the lesser-known terraces away from the main ruins, where daily life still mingles with the stones. We stood in Caral, the oldest city in the Americas, surrounded by pyramids that predate the Incas by thousands of years. We explored the vast adobe walls of Chan Chan and the ceremonial Moche temples at Huaca de la Luna. We also traveled to Cahuachi, a lesser-known site in the Nazca region, where an enormous ceremonial center rises from the desert in quiet majesty, still holding its mysteries. And of course, we visited Machu Picchu, where the presence of the stones and the majesty of the mountains combine in an unforgettable way.

Why Peru, and not Egypt, Greece, or some other country with great ruins? The answer is that Peru feels different. Here the stones are alive. The Inca were masters of stonework, fitting massive blocks together without mortar in a way that has never been matched. These stones are more than architecture. They are conversation. They are part of the landscape, placed in harmony with rivers, mountains, and stars. When you sit with them, you feel that harmony. Peru is one of the few places where the stones do not only speak of the past, they also speak directly to the present.

How We Became Stone Botherers

We never set out to invent Stone Bothering. It simply grew from our travels. At first we moved quickly through sites, taking photos like anyone else. But the more time we spent among stones, the more we realized that they needed patience. We began sitting with them, touching them, and allowing ourselves to be still. That was when we started noticing subtle things: the way light shifts across a carved surface, the calm that lingers in certain places, the quiet energy that seems to hum in others.

To become a stone botherer, you do not need special knowledge. What you need is curiosity, respect, and the willingness to slow down. If you give stones your attention, they will respond.

Advice for Beginners

If you want to begin bothering stones, start simple. When you visit an ancient site, resist the urge to rush. Find one stone and sit with it. Notice its texture and shape, the way it rests in the land, the way the light changes across it. Ask yourself what this stone has witnessed. The silence itself can be an answer.

For anyone traveling to Peru, we recommend beginning with a few powerful sites:

Machu Picchu, the great citadel in the clouds.

Sacsayhuamán, where enormous stones form walls above Cusco.

Caral, a place of quiet power and deep history.

Ollantaytambo, where life and ruins are still woven together.

Why Peru Should Be on Your List

Peru is more than a destination for archaeology lovers. It is a country of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant traditions, and unforgettable food. If you are looking for a holiday that is more than sightseeing, Peru is the perfect choice.

At Stone Bothering we believe travel should open doors to meaning, not just landmarks. That is why we offer advice, personal recommendations, and trip planning for anyone who wants to experience Peru in a deeper way. Whether you want to see the great sites or discover hidden places off the usual path, we are here to help.

What began with two curious travelers in Avebury has become our way of life. Stone Bothering is about listening to the voices of ancient stones. Nowhere do those voices speak more clearly than in Peru.

Tom Jolly’s Memoir.

Tom Jolly – Environmental Educator in Peru 1996 – 2017

A brief history of my journey in both countries, Peru and Great Britain,

Dedicated to environmental education

We Went Green – We'll Be Sustainable
Gone Green – Going Sustainable

Wow... a communication has arrived... "Please Tom, can you write a few words about the journey of your work dedicated to environmental education in Peru?"

Thinking about it, yes why not. But a journey of more than two decades in an article of not too many words and a journey that became much broader than only Peru, one that would see international collaboration between young people and their elders from Latin America and continents beyond. And we of course now need to begin to interpret the outcomes of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, (and its recommendations for the 21st century, "Agenda 21") that introduce and formalise the principal that we need to consider symbiotic development practices with the environment, society and economy, or, in other words, sustainable development at the local to global level.......... Blimey!

OK, let's begin. I arrived in Peru in 1996, responsible for supporting the training of teachers in environmental education. I was far from home, without Spanish as a language and a two-year project ahead of me. I quickly learned that I had a good team of colleagues, a good network of educational centres with enthusiastic teachers and students, and the best thing, there was a good network of educators, organisations, individuals etc., with a lot of experiences already in environmental education.

I was recruited as an ‘expert’ in environmental education, but my environment was essentially thousands of miles away in Britain with a distinctly Gringolandian perspective. Of course, I had my experiences and ideas, but the environment was somewhat different in Peru with its very arid coast, very high mountains and a very hot and wet rainforest, and, by putting those three ecological regions together, the result is as we all know, a very, very, very rich level of biodiversity.

I suppose my global perspective began only a few months after my arrival in Peru with a query from a primary school student who wanted to know; "Why was Lima so dirty and polluted, not like your country back in Great Britain?"

My answer was that; "Well of course we still have dirty and polluted areas there, but that was because we were the original inventors of environmental pollution such as industrial smog and gases, solid waste such as plastics as well as hazardous liquids such as agricultural chemicals and sewage from towns and cities."

It was this then that began the mission to bring together the two communities of Latin America and Gringolandia, hopefully resulting in a better understanding of the possible causes and consequences of environmental, economic and social life at a local to global level. In other words, and retrospectively, I was involved in 20 years dedicated to the field of Education for Sustainable Development and the principles of "Agenda 21".

To begin to achieve this there would have to be a significant amount of collaboration between individuals and institutions, and of course there is no time or space in this article to illustrate everything. So, for now I would like to briefly explain below, three important initiatives: Rescue Mission Planet Earth, global collaboration between schools and, lastly but maybe most significantly, the importance of Pachamama.

To learn a little more about GlobalEd's work, you can go to the website, but for now, here’s a summary of our main areas of work:

What is GlobalEd (short for Global Education for Sustainable Development)?

Simultaneous development and implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) with educational establishments in the UK and Peru:

1. Institutional capacity development
2. Professional Development
3. Curriculum Development
4. Materials and project development
5. School Engagement
6. Alternative financing strategies
7. Exchange and volunteer visits
8. Promoting ESD


One of the most influential partners in our work is the British NGO Peace Child International. Its main mission is the empowerment of youth and as its name signifies, its work began in peace projects. However, in 1992, remember, there was a very important conference coordinated by the UN in Rio de Janeiro - The Earth Summit. Its objective was to provide a plan of sustainable development for the approaching 21st century which concluded with a very long and complex document, whose audience was our world leaders and planners, entitled "Agenda 21".
As the future will obviously include the youth of today, Peace Child was commissioned to bring together this same global youth to produce a version of Agenda 21 specifically them. The title of this youth edition was " Rescue Mission Planet Earth ". Most important to our work together in education was chapter 25 of the 40 chapters, "The Importance of Youth Involvement." And so the heart of our work in Peru and beyond developing educational materials and initiatives on the complexity of our environment, economic and social life, was guided by the principles of Chapter 25.
“It is imperative that youth from all parts of the world participate actively in all relevant levels of decision-making processes because it affects their lives today and has implications for their futures. In addition to their intellectual contribution and their ability to mobilise support, they bring unique perspectives that need to be taken into account.” Agenda 21- Chapter 25.2 (UN 1992)

Perhaps an example of the above was our initiative in 2002 to bring together schoolchildren from native communities in Manu National Park, with schools in the southwest of England. The result was a beautiful calendar, which not only served as a useful resource in classrooms and homes in England, but also increased awareness of the fragility of life in Amazonian communities and the need to preserve this important forest.
This collaboration of both educational communities in Peru and Great Britain was always full of surprises, situations that occur without planning, but they were examples of the value in bringing the two communities together with incredible results in terms of educational successes. So, I want, finally, to finish this little article about me, or our, work in Peru, to tell one more story that still amuses me.
An important component of the work was the physical exchanges of head teachers and teachers from both countries. One of my best memories was a visit in 2009 of teachers from Cusco schools to schools in England.
Obviously, with then thirteen years living in Peru, I knew the importance of Pachamama and the respect that should be observed. It was lunchtime in a very educationally dynamic primary school after a fun morning of activities together. The teachers from Cusco were impressed and we were sitting in the canteen together with the students enjoying our plates of food. It was a tradition in this little school that the very important visitors (the VIPs), such as teachers from the other side of the world, were seated at a special table, The Golden Table, with a view of all the students talking and enjoying their meals.
As we received our desserts one of the teachers asked me "Tom, please, why is there so much food on the floor?" Of course, his observation was correct, there was bread, fruit, chips and much, much more everywhere.
I went to off to ask the lunchtime assistants and their answer, for me, was disappointing. They explained that, if the students do not want to eat their whole meal, because they do not like it or they are full, they simply drop the bits they do not want on the floor, and the assistants cannot say anything.
I returned to The Golden Table with my informed answer which I relayed to my concerned teacher. After a few seconds to compute what he had heard, he stood up and clapped his hands to get attention. Silence came. And, with a very friendly voice began speaking (with me on translation duties as ever)............
"Thank you, children. And thank you for the wonderful morning we spent with you and for this delicious lunch. We've enjoyed every moment of it, and it's obvious that you're doing wonderful things here at the school. We are particularly impressed by your incredible respect and generosity towards Pachamama for the valuable food that you have so generously offered back to her............... Thank you"
Enough said.... I was told on my next visit to the school about a month after the teachers had returned to Peru, that the amount of food on the floor had dropped to practically zero......... Now that’s got to be global education at its finest.
I miss Peru deeply and one day maybe I will be able to return to my work with Peru in some way. Global changes, such as peace, the economy, the pandemic, and more, have all come together to change the impact of my work, both here in Gringolandia and in Peru.
I have been reassessing what my contribution may be in a new world that seems to have forgotten how fragile our planet is and that it is in urgent need of healing. We need to find a realistic and fair ways for everyone to live lightly (like, for example, my official ‘company car bicycle’) on this lonely planet. Powerful countries, including Britain, are distracted right now and that affects the whole world. Before we can rescue the Earth, we have to reorientate ourselves in Gringolandia. And maybe the Peruvians can help us with their wisdom.

Thank you, Pamela, for asking me to write this article and my best wishes to all Peruvians in foreign lands, wherever you are. Perhaps this is the beginning of an opportunity to bring together a new global community in mission for a more sustainable future ............... Who knows and maybe catch you later ...........
